We are Prince Hall Masons of California

The Prince Hall Masons of California are a distinguished fraternity rooted in the rich history and traditions of Prince Hall Freemasonry, a branch of Freemasonry established to promote brotherhood, self-improvement, and community service among African Americans. As one of the oldest and most respected organizations of its kind, the California jurisdiction proudly upholds the principles of integrity, charity, and unity, building on the legacy of Prince Hall, a trailblazer for civil rights and equality.

Since its founding, the Prince Hall Masons of California have played a vital role in fostering leadership, education, and community empowerment. Their initiatives span a wide array of impactful programs, including scholarships, mentorship for youth, charitable efforts, and partnerships that address social and economic disparities. Each lodge serves as a beacon of fellowship, education, and service, contributing to the enrichment of communities across the state.

Guided by a commitment to moral and spiritual values, the Prince Hall Masons of California continue to inspire and uplift, embodying the enduring motto: Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love. Whether through community outreach, historical preservation, or leadership development, this esteemed organization remains dedicated to advancing the principles of Freemasonry while making a lasting difference in society.

Freemasonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that everyone has a responsibility to make the world a better place. For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world. Through Freemasonry, we make true friends, improve ourselves, and have a positive impact on our community.
